BuyNothing App Version History

We thought it time to give a comprehensive overview of our various point releases for the app.  First and foremost, we just released Version 1.6 of the app this week.  If you haven’t already, please download the update here, now.  Thank you to all of you who have taken time to join the free BuyNothing app at some point during the last five months.  We are grateful to have more than 335,000 of you across 192 countries and more than 10,500 cities with us, sharing and connecting in the app.

Since releasing Version 1.0 of the app on November 26, 2021, we’ve released 15 updated versions of the app (please see the table below).  

We’ve noticed that many of you haven’t updated your version of the app since the very beginning, which means you’re missing out on a LOT of functionality! The app now includes many new features that weren’t included in earlier versions (search, a community page, community impact stats, personal user activity, grid view for posts, and much more). You’re missing out if you haven’t updated yet! 

We released Version 1.6 of the app this week. If you haven’t already, please download the update now (quick update tutorial: go to the app store/play store, search for “BuyNothing app” then click “update”). 

Version 1.6 is our best, cleanest, and most responsive build yet. It addresses all of the major bugs the community has reported over the course of the past few weeks (including account activation, log-in and erroneous post-like counts). The app is humming along now.  And, as always, we’re eager for your feedback so the next iteration can be even better. 

Our team is planning a lot of fantastic features to delight you in the coming months, so please stay tuned.  In the meantime, please enjoy building your Buy Nothing life via our free and independent app!
